Mc Donald's is not used by the 90% of the world. Microsoft clearly is a very successful company which builds great products. Just because their philosophy doesn't align with mine, or because I like Linux doesn't mean I have to diss them. Look at Kinect for example, It. Is. Revolutionary.
- mibbitier 14y agoI'd guess McDonalds has a similar market share in food as Microsoft has in software... Do you disagree? I bought a Kinect. I used it for a couple of days. It had a novelty value, but no staying power. I don't think I'm alone there. In any event, my original point was that trusting your hosting to a company which had an outage due to not foreseeing a leap year, may not be a good decision. Outages due to particularly hairy code related to redundancy and failover etc, I can forgive. But an outage caused by a leap year? No way.
- minhajuddin 14y agoYou my friend are not aware of the radical things people are doing with kinect, just the other day I saw a demo of a quad copter with a kinect on top of it, and once you release it into a room, it will give you the whole 3D profile of the house without a human controlling it! If that does that not dazzle you, I am not sure what does. And about the bug being a leap year bug is really a nonissue, a bug is a bug. An year ago, Github nuked their whole production database, because of a deployment glitch. We all create softwares with bugs, it's the response to that which matters. And, Microsoft does a stellar job at that.
